Tommy, you know, he had one deaf ear

Back from his minesweeping days

You never could tell just what he could and could not hear

And he intended to keep it that way

 He joined the Navy just like his Daddy done

 When he was of the rightful age

 He took off right quick like many a kid did

 When his parents took hard to the drink

 And now it's coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water

Any time's a good time, so go unlock your daughters

 With his motorcycle friends, they're going off again

 From the Black Sea all the way to Britain,

 All the way to Britain

She was a dame of New Jersey fame

Lived her life like it was a bourre game

And if there were sides being taken

 You better believe you wanna be on the side she was on

 She went to the city for secretary school

 Ended up working for the CIA

 She had a short hand that didn't suffer no fools

She intended to keep it that way

 And she drank coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water

Any old time she could have any horse she wanted

 And if you gonna’ ride then you ride it like you stole it

 From a steeple chase

 She drank coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water

Boys tried to give chase, but no one ever caught her

 'Til she found her love, and Sheila didn't let Tommy

 Sleep for days

 Their first meeting was hardly a word

 But he built her a harpsichord

 And he found her unconscious just inside the door

And carried her to help

 Now every now and again

 She pretends to faint on the harpsichord bench

 And he picks her up again and carries her

Up to their bed

 And they drink coffee like it’s fine wine, wine like it's water

Any time's a good time, ‘cause now they have a daughter

 And she rides so fast, they said they gonna name her

Farley

 They drink coffee like it’s fine wine, wine like it's water

Don't ask what kind, it's just the kind our parents brought us

 From the Black Sea shore and the girl next door

 Who could ride

 They drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water

Any time's a good time cause now they have a daughter

 And she rides so fast, they said they gonna’ name her

Farley

 And they drink coffee like it's fine wine, wine like it's water

Don't ask what kind, it's just the kind our parents brought us

 From the Black Sea shore and the girl next door

Who could ride...
